    Hi! New to VST here. Three questiones: 1. Thinking about the full CFX library. Will that work on a Mac Mini M1 with 8gb ram and 512gb ssd? Any limitations? 2. If I buy the CFX library, do I need some additional software to make it work with my piano (Yamaha CLP745), or is the library itself a piece of “self-contained software” not needing any other software to function? 3. I want to connect a Mac Mini to my piano, and play the VSL CFX library through my piano speakers. Is it enough to hook up the USB midi port (USB B to A) and have “two way” audio. I.e. midi signal passed to the Max Mini and the VSL CFX sound passed back to the piano for playback on the speakers? Any settings I need to make sure I have to make this work?

    Hi Sleepy81,

    The M1 Mac mini is fine - but 8 GB is on the very low side (see recommended system requirements). The library includes the Synchron Pianos Player for free - no additional software is required. You can use the standalone player or through a plugin in any host.

    Best regards,
    Andreas
